Description

Peretinoin is an oral acyclic retinoid, inhibits HCV RNA amplification and virus release by altering lipid metabolism.
Target: HCV
in vitro: Peretinoin is an acyclic retinoid, improves the hepatic gene signature of chronic hepatitis C following curative therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma. Peretinoin is an oral acyclic retinoid with a vitamin A-like structure that targets retinoid nuclear receptors, such as retinoid X receptor and retinoic acid receptor. Peretinoin inhibits HCV RNA amplification and virus release by altering lipid metabolism. Peretinoin suppresses the RNA replication of H77S.3/GLuc2A most efficiently and its EC50 was 9 μM. Peretinoin may reduce the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following surgical ablation of primary tumours. Peretinoin inhibits RNA replication for all genotypes and showed the strongest antiviral effect among the retinoids tested.
in vivo: In addition, Peretinoin prevents the development of hepatoma in several different hepatoma models.
